At a time when no one suspected the New Orleans Saints to win the game, the stadium crowd of the 44th Super Bowl in Miami celebrated and enjoyed the extremely popular halftime show.
In the 12 minute space, The Who performed five hits out of their repertoire which swept the crowd away. The FALCON Xenon Searchlights were throughout being integrated in the diversified stage lighting show designed by Al Gurdon and shown through a crowning achievement and powerful colours. The technical support was provided by Full Flood. The US service provider already has several experiences using the FALCON range and likes to frequently use the searchlights manufactured by alpha one.
A&O Technology USA supplied Full Flood with a total of 12 FALCON 6000 CMY and 14 FALCON BEAM 7000W. This year marks the fourth time that A&O USA successfully supported the Super Bowl half time show. With previously staging performances by Prince, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band, it was now the worldwide famous english Rock’n Roll band “The Who” who shined in the spotlight.
This XLIV Super Bowl was watched by an average of about 106.5 million US viewers (a total of 151.6 million tuned in overall), according to NFL.com, which is a record breaking number and marks the 44th Super Bowl as the most watched ever in sport history. Apart from the US channel CBS, the German state channel Das Erste broadcasted the final match of the NFL live.
